Has anyone been sleeved in Cancun? I am thinking it might be easier to fly into Cancun, and advice on surgeons, coordinators, prices etc would be wonderful! :)

Not sleeved in Cancun, but I flew into San Diego where I was picked up & crossed the border to Tijuana. It is literally 20 mins across the border!

That was with Dr Kelly.

Not sure where you are flying from, but it may be cheaper to fly to San Diego than Cancun?

Would I be able to email or converse with you? It looks like my choice is Mexico, and I am starting to get a little nervous.

Thanks,

Pam

I have my sleeve scheduled in Cancun for Jun16th with Dr.Sergio verboonen.

We're going a few days early, sort of a mini-vacation before the operation. I

will be happy to report all that happens if that helps to ease your mind.

I took a passport, but if Omar said you will be fine with birth certificate & drivers license I would trust him that it's enough!

They didn't even ask for any ID for me going into Mexico, it was just coming back into the USA that I had to show ID.

You have to have a passport to get back across the border. Google Mexico travel.

I used Dr. Perez in Cancun. Had a wonderful time and experience. It was easier for me to get to Cancun than any of the other Mexico locations, since I live in Florida. It was only 1 hr 15 mins by plane, it's 7 hrs to San Diego. I had my lapband in Tijuana with no problems 9 years ago so I have nothing bad to say about it, but if I had to choose between the two places Cancun would win everytime. It's gorgeous and so relaxing. My hotel room overlooked the ocean so it was nice to sit on the balcony after surgery and recuperate, plus the flight home was so quick.

Best of luck in your search :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
